Sunamganj district Awami League (AL) president Matiur Rahman at a press conference announced his candidature for the by-election to Sunamganj-4 constituency (Sadar and Biswambharpur). The seat fell vacant following death of district Jatiya Party chief Begum Momtaj Iqbal on April 16. Momtaj, wife of former JP minister Major (Retd) Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury was elected with grand alliance ticket in the December 29 elections. Matiur told journalists that he was the AL nominee in the last JS polls, but for the sake of alliance he had to sacrifice his candidature. "This time I am going to contest as an AL nominee," he said.
